NEW CD's

Aerodyne delivers straight up melodic hard rock with a metal edge and then carefully spun into an AOR wrapper. The 80s melodic metal rock is a great flag to fly, and Aerodyne does it with enthusiasm and with entertaining results. And, honestly, there's not a bad song in the bunch. Learn More

Italian melodic rockers Airbound, whose sound they admit has been inspired by classic AOR of bands like Journey and Survivor, and to me adds a dash of Bon Jovi to the mix have done pretty well here. Their debut is a nice and airy affair, upbeat and smelling of summer it’s a real ‘feel good’ hit from the first spin. Learn More

“Ammunition“ contains elven hardrock tunes that make you feel good. Singer Age Sten Nielsen (ex WIG WAM) and multi-talented Erik Mårtensson (g, ECLIPSE, W.E.T., NORDIC UNION) do what they can do best: They simply rock! You get surprises like the TOTO and GARY MOORE hybrid “Eye For An Eye“. Brillant stuff for fans of all the bands mentioned and PRETTY MAIDS. “Wrecking Crew“, featured in this year’s Norwegian Eurovision finale, is on it, too. Thumbs up! Learn More

Already the first few moments of “Bite!“ take no prisoners. It’s hard, melodic and raw. The band from Croatia rock through these eleven tracks like there is no tomorrow. ANIMAL DRIVE is a highly interesting new band you better keep an eye on. Frontman and main songwriter Dino Jelusic (TRANS SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA) and the guys combine the best of SKID ROW, (harder) WHITESNAKE and a little bit of (metallic) DREAM THEATER to create a really cool mix.

A bit of a misleading album title which suggests kind of a best of compilation, but what you'll get are both mega classic AXE albums "Offering" (1982) and "Memesis" (1983) in full plus the bonus track "Midnight". Learn More

FREEDOM CALL frontman CHRIS BAY surprises with his first ever solo album. If you’re not into BAY’s main band, “Chasing The Sun“ might as well not be your cup of tea. It’s at times modern sounding, slightly popish but always positive and kicking ass. The tracks - although mostly being quite kitschy - make you simply feel good. That’s what music should be about, isn’t it? Without question, the highlight is the melodic „Radio Starlight“. Learn More

Finest British Hardrock from one of the hottest “new“ bands around - whereas every single member is no stranger to the scene. “Love Hate Conspiracies“, the second BLOOD RED SAINTS album after the well-received “Speedway“ (2015) comes around a bit harder, which certainly goes back to the fact that a second guitar (Neil Hibbs, ex SHY) was added and the keyboards were mostly banned.

This is true British Melodic Hard Rock in the vein of TEN / THUNDER inspired by the classic '80s style with a modern, updated, and at places, tremendous production sound (which is not a bis surprise, cause the album has been mixed by the mighty Tobias Lindell). Learn More

Just after two great albums the British power pop outfit delivers their first live recording. It was recorded in March 2017 at the Cardiff Motorpoint arena, when they supported Thunder. Since this was five months before the release of their second album, "Scarecrow", then unsurprisingly most of the songs featured in their set came from the first album, "Too Many Gods", with just one song from the as then unreleased 2nd album.
